Galatasaray forward Didier Drogba says he wants to stay in the game for four more years and probably equal the record of Cameroon great Roger Milla who retired from football at the age of 39.
The Ivory Coast captain, who will be 36 by next March, was awarded the prestigious Golden Foot prize last week in Monaco – an accolade given to football players aged 29 and above who are still active and contribute to the development of the sport.
“I hope God will grant me the required health and conditions to be able to play four more years,” he said.
Drogba earlier announced he would retire from international football after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
His national side Ivory Coast will be facing Senegal in Casablanca next month in the return leg of the World Cup playoff after a 3-1 outcome in favour of the Elephants in the reverse fixture played in Abidjan.
